About Us
We are the premier hub and policy institution for global energy thought leadership. Energy impacts every element of our lives, and our trusted fact-based research informs the decisions that affect all of us.
This summer saw record temperatures, deadly floods, wildfires, and storms. The climate change impacts scientists have warned about are now evident. While more policy action is needed, governments are taking significant steps to avert the most devastating consequences of climate change with historic investments in clean energy, such as the Inflation Reduction Act passed a year ago, and policy frameworks to reduce fossil fuel emissions. With a pivotal COP coming up later this year in the UAE, it is important to take stock of where we are in the energy transition, and examine the disparity between our climate ambitions and the prevailing reality of the world’s energy needs.
Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy and Institute of Global Politics at Columbia SIPA for a moderated, in-depth discussion and Q&A with leading climate activists, scholars, and policymakers. They will convene to look at strategies for hastening this energy shift and advancing climate policy action, while discussing the roles of effective communication, policy, research, and social mobilization. The discussion will also identify pragmatic opportunities to enhance ambition on climate and energy action during this critical window of time for accelerated action on mitigation.

President Donald Trump has made energy a clear focus for his second term in the White House. Having campaigned on an “America First” platform that highlighted domestic fossil-fuel growth, the reversal of climate policies and clean energy incentives advanced by the Biden administration, and substantial tariffs on key US trading partners, he declared an “energy emergency” on his first day in office.
While he hasn’t released an official plan, Trump’s playbook the last time he was in office and his frequent complaints about clean energy offer clues to what’s ahead.
